Abstract

The present specification relates to a method and a device for randomizing a signal that satisfies ε-differential privacy, the method receiving a signal having a specific value of a bit error rate (BER), and generating a randomized signal on the basis of the signal, and then transmitting the randomized signal to a machine learning server. If a differential privacy mechanism is provided in a physical layer, true randomness of a wireless channel causes security to be less vulnerable than that of a pseudo random mechanism provided by an application, communication delay is reduced, and the power of the device can be reduced.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for signal randomization, the method performed by a communication apparatus and comprising:
receiving a random access preamble from a serving cell;
transmitting a random access response to the serving cell;
receiving a signal from the serving cell, wherein the signal haves a bit error rate (BER) of a first value;
generating a randomized signal based on the signal; and
transmitting the randomized signal to a machine learning server,
wherein the randomized signal is generated based on BER measurement and decoding,
wherein the randomized signal includes a bit in which an error has not occurred due to the BER of the first value and a bit in which an error has occurred due to the BER of the first value.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the bit in which the error has not occurred is included in the randomized signal without change,
wherein the bit in which the error has occurred is changed to 0 or 1 based on a BER of a second value and included in the randomized signal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the BER of the first value and the BER of the second value are determined based on a transmission power of the signal.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the BER of the second value is determined based on iterative decoding.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the BER of the first value and the BER of the second value are determined based on a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) of the signal.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the BER of the second value is determined based on retransmission of the signal.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the randomized signal is generated in a physical layer of the communication apparatus,
wherein the randomized signal is directly transmitted from the physical layer to an application layer.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the randomized signal satisfies ε-differential privacy.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the decoding is iterative decoding.

10. A communication apparatus comprising:
one or more memories to store instructions;
one or more transceivers; and
one or more processors coupling the one or more memories and the one or more transceivers, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions for:
receiving a random access preamble from a serving cell;
transmitting a random access response to the serving cell;
receiving a signal from the serving cell, wherein the signal haves a bit error rate (BER) of a first value;
generating a randomized signal based on the signal; and
transmitting the randomized signal to a machine learning server,
wherein the randomized signal is generated based on BER measurement and decoding,
wherein the randomized signal includes a bit in which an error has not occurred due to the BER of the first value and a bit in which an error has occurred due to the BER of the first value.

11. An apparatus configured to control a communication apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories executablely coupled by the one or more processors and storing instructions, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions for:
receiving a random access preamble from a serving cell;
transmitting a random access response to the serving cell;
receiving a signal from the serving cell, wherein the signal haves a bit error rate (BER) of a first value;
generating a randomized signal based on the signal; and
transmitting the randomized signal to a machine learning server,
wherein the randomized signal is generated based on BER measurement and decoding,
wherein the randomized signal includes a bit in which an error has not occurred due to the BER of the first value and a bit in which an error has occurred due to the BER of the first value.
